There is scarce evidence of anatomical risk factors that might affect long-term post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This systematic review aims to identify anatomical measurements in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that might be associated with increased risk of urinary incontinence (UI) 1 year after RALP.

Overactive bladder (OAB) and voiding postponement (VP) can share the same symptom of urgency, but with different pathophysiology, including the cerebral interpretation of bladder filling. The objective of the present study was to compare the clinical, psychological and sociodemographic features of children with urgency for OAB with those who presented urgency for VP (UrVP).

Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in female patients results in high satisfaction rates and high functional outcomes, but implantation can be challenging and explantation of the device is fairly common.

Transcutaneous temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TTCRF) is an emerging modality for vulvovaginal rejuvenation. Still, the clinical experience with this modality is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of TTCRF in improving female genital appearance, sexual function, and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

To describe urinary symptoms and urodynamic findings in patients with advanced pelvic organ prolapse. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive and retrospective evaluation with advanced POP referred for urodynamic test before surgical repair between 2015 and 2017 were included.

Background and aim of the work Patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) have an increased risk of developing bladder stones due to bladder catheter, incomplete bladder emptying, recurrent urinary tract infections, and immobilization.

Neurogenic bladder and sexual dysfunction after spinal cord lesions are highly prevalent. The treatment algorithm for neurogenic bladder is well described. Clean intermittent self-catheterisation associated with treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity is the gold standard.

Bladder instillation of hyaluronic acid (HA) is an acceptable treatment for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). The treatment is limited by a high proportion of non-responders (~30%-40%).

Hospital readmissions following severe infections are a major economic burden on the health care system and have a negative influence on patients’ quality of life. Understanding the risk factors for readmission, particularly the extent to which they could be prevented, is of a great importance.

The treatment of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic obstruction represents one of the major interesting aspects in urological clinical practice. Although transurethral resection of the prostate is still considered the surgical gold standard for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with prostate volume <80 mL, various minimally invasive surgical treatments (MITs) […]
